Topic > Why Students Choose Not to Return to College - 1903

When a young adult decides to go to college, he or she must make a very important decision about what his or her future holds and where his or her future will begin. Once they make their decision and start college, they make new friends and their actions determine who they become. Weekends come and go, but the decisions made are different for each individual attending college. There are those who choose to stay on campus and spend the weekend doing things around school with new friends, others choose to return home for different reasons, such as homesickness and the desire to be with family or spend your free time from school on work. they help pay for tuition, plus there are students who choose to go to other institutions to see new friends they have made or visit old ones from high school. What I'm trying to understand with my target population, is not just what the group chooses to do on the weekend, but also trying to understand why they choose to do what they do in that time. In 1993 there was a survey conducted at Kent State University, the purpose of the study was to determine why students choose not to return to the institution, in the article he included the results of the survey conducted, the conclusions of the survey and also what they would the implications the findings would have on the University and how it recruits people to join their community. Looking at the survey they conducted and how they implemented it, I'm not sure it was done in a way that would get enough attention from students who chose not to re-enroll at the institution. Once the semester began, Kent State collected a list of 767 students who did not re-enroll and mailed them the survey to fill out......middle of the paper...student issue addressed university students who have chosen to take the free time they have and use it constructively by improving their leadership skills during this free time and how this changes them. Sethi states that “The main objective of the study was to find out the relationship between leadership behavior and leisure activities among college students.” What can be deduced from this research and the above statement is that college students have free time and those who have decided to take advantage of that time and use it to their advantage have had the opportunity to become better leaders on campus and broaden their their horizons during college. years. What's interesting about this research is that it shows that not all free time has to be spent on school work, homecoming, or partying, the time can be used to prepare for life after college and a career..
